This was so hard for me! Everything is beautiful, how could I possibly choose?! I’ll try my best, because I do like Photo Hunters so much. You can click on the links to see more photos about our travels to each of these places.
Things that are colorful are beautiful.
This is glassware from the Corning Museum [...]

Today’s theme is to find something wrinkled. I have just the thing today! Look– it’s a real cat mummy! We saw this when we visited the Museum of Oddities in Cazenovia. The founder of the museum, back in the 1800s, had traveled to Egypt to obtain artifacts and mummies for the collection. This kitty is [...]

I can think of so many wonderfully colorful things, but the first thing that comes to mind is my lovely flower garden. Everything is finally in full bloom, and I am in my glory! Here are some photos I took for my other blog– but the gardens are so beautiful I thought I’d post them [...]

UPDATE: I didn’t know it until after I posted this– I was checking news headlines this afternoon; I see that last night some people were trapped in the Empire State Building elevators when construction workers had accidentally severed power lines to the building. OOPS! These folks were REALLY in the dark! All is well, although [...]

Despite being a cloud lover, I am not much of a cloud photographer. I only have a handful of photos. I am looking forward to seeing others’ photos, because I think there are a lot of cloud photographers out there! I’ll leave you with a few of my measly photos.
Here’s a shot I took of

Well, here’s a weird thing I have for you this week. Hair wreaths! Yes, hair wreaths! I’d never, ever heard of them until we saw them at the Old Stone Fort in Schoharie, NY. I guess they were all the rage in the mid-1800s, especially during the Civil War era. In an era when women [...]

When you’re on a photo scavenger hunt for weird-looking things, you really can’t go wrong with animals or bugs. So of course, that’s what I’d have!
What IS that weird looking bag of… ??

It’s a clam– a dissected clam that we inspected for our science experiment. Would YOU eat one of those? Yuk! Ick! Blech!

What IS [...]

A person could do so much with this week’s Photo Hunt! I decided to use “support” as a verb. Here’s a photo of the Hiawatha Belt. This is not the real belt, it’s a replica of one, and we saw it at the Children’s Museum in Utica, NY. You can read about our visit to [...]

Yesterday we stepped back in time. We visited the Erie Canal Village in Rome, NY. It was an absolute blast! So I’m tying in today’s Photo Hunt with our visit. (This week, I’ll post all about our trip with loads of photos and a few videos).
There are a lot of pointed things we saw, from [...]

This was a difficult one for me! I was clueless. All I could think of was a nice photo of bright city lights, but I have none in my Flickr stash. So I dug out two photos of buildings with bright lights. I love the colored lights. The first photo is of the Turning Stone [...]

Today’s Photo Hunters is “emotions.” Hmmm. I know something that will invoke a whole gamut of very high emotions:
GAS PRICES

Yes, I can feel your blood pressure rising right now! It makes me feel like this little guy:

How did your Photo Hunt go today?
